TRANSPORTING THE MOWER:


When traveling on public roadways, use flashing amber lights and Slow Moving
Vehicle sign on the rear of the mower to provide greater visibility to other traffic.

Once a mower is in the raised position, activate tractor hydraulic control valve (on
the 22 ft unit) slightly so that the cylinders will extend and allow the locks to be
totally engaged. This way there will be no sudden surges on the hydraulic system
when traveling over rough terrain.

When towing this mower, the following information concerning road speed should
